Ma'am, I totally agree with you. RAS (regn, authentication, status) was a domain of high-end VOIP protocol stacks... costing millions and tens of millions of dollars- today these things encapsulated in the concept of "presence" have changed the way the younger generation works and thinks. Your observations are very good-- Also, what do you do professionally ? if on orkut, linkedin or facebook, use my email ID to add me.
